Description Ryan 2007-06-29 08:57:20 PDT
Not sure if this is the intended behavior, but it sure is annoying. Every time I select "inspect element" the inspector appears in a jerky drawing process that goes like this:

1) webkit draws the outline of the inspector on top of the current window
2) webkit applies a black mask over the current window and the portion of the outline of the inspector window that falls over the current window
3) inspector window is moved behind current window

I have a fast computer and there's really no reason it should not be a smooth process to open a new window.

Thanks for the bug report, Ryan. While my computer isn't the fastest, I don't see the inspector moving behind the current window at any stage. Do you have any Safari "enhancers", input managers, Haxies or extensions installed?

Ryan is reporting this issue on Windows, which has entirely separate code for showing the inspector and overlay.

Oops. I guess I should start paying attention to the OS field.

mitz: No extensions or add-ons installed.
Adam: Thanks for pointing that out.

It's a dubicate of bug 14276 which is already fixed. I've tested the issue in Webkit r34388 and I can confirm the bug is no longer visible.
